New Delhi: The CWG Co-ordination Commission
today said the sponsorship programme for this year`s
Commonwealth Games has yielded good results, according to the
organisers.

CGF CEO Mike Hooper, who was at loggerheads with OC
Chairman Suresh Kalmadi a few months back, was quoted as
saying in a statement that the sponsorship programme has made
significant progress.

"With what has already been contracted, and what is
currently at contract stage, the sponsorship programme has
almost eclipsed what Melbourne achieved in 2006. Melbourne was
the most successful sponsorship campaign in the history of the
Commonwealth Games by a significant margin," Hooper said in
the statement, released by the orgainsers.

"While the total currently sits at USD 74 million, the
presentation today confirmed that there is now very good
prospects in a number of other key sponsorship categories," he
added.
